Last Train Home is a new real-time strategy game on Steam from THQ Nordic. In a nearly 3-minute trailer, the developers now show you what to expect at release.
What kind of game is this? The real-time strategy game Last Train Home presents you with an important but also oppressive and difficult task. Under your leadership, Czechoslovak soldiers want to find their way back home on board a train.
Not only does the icy setting remind the game of the popular title Frostpunk. Throughout the game, you will have to make important decisions and manage your resources wisely. Every decision you make strongly influences the fate of your comrades.
Your task is not only to accompany them safely on their journey but also to prepare them for emerging real-time battles to increase the chances of a successful return home.
Where can you play? You can play Last Train Home since November 28, 2023 on Steam. Currently, you can still get the game for 15% off until December 5, 2023.
In a trailer, you now get a closer look at the features that await you in Last Train Home:
What to expect: In some gameplay clips, the trailer shows you how to safely transport your troops through enemy territories.
To do this, you will engage in combat with your soldiers and give them orders on various maps. Your goal is to keep as many soldiers alive as possible. In the process, you will also acquire important resources and information for your further journey.
If you are not currently on a battlefield, you will travel by train through the icy landscapes of Russia. You can use this time to get to know your soldiers and learn about their stories and strengths.
Similar to Frostpunk, one of your biggest enemies in Last Train Home is the harsh climate and the complicated conditions after a difficult time.
Keep an eye on not only your soldiers but also your resources and the train
Many challenges await you on your journey that must be considered to ensure the survival of your people:
- Keep an eye on your soldiers and unlock new abilities
- Send troops to explore the surroundings
- Form new alliances and trade resources
- Distribute the tasks on the train, but be mindful of breaks for your soldiers
In addition, it is of course your task to maintain your train, repair it if necessary, and equip it with new equipment to prepare for the upcoming dangers. As seen in the trailer, you can equip your train with all the essential cars.
A sleeper car, a kitchen, a medical car, a storage car, and a car full of guns to defend against enemies.
It is important to keep your train running as much as possible. Because stagnation could mean death in this case.
